Capital in the Twenty-First Century is a book by French economist Thomas Piketty, published in 2014. The book analyzes the evolution of income and wealth inequality in developed countries from the 18th century to the present. Piketty argues that the rate of return on capital is historically higher than the rate of economic growth, which leads to an increasing concentration of wealth in the hands of a minority. The book proposes a series of policies to reduce inequality, such as a global tax on capital.
Thomas Piketty is a French economist who is a professor of economics at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences, associate chair at the Paris School of Economics (PSE) and Centennial Professor of Economics in the International Inequalities Institute at the London School of Economics (LSE).
